PM on the way
They are not guaranteed to rust but stainless steel (KW) will hold up better than galvanized. Go with KW since you are in NJ, we have seen a few used sets (other brand galvanized steel) come to Cali from the Tri-State area & there is a good amount of rust

On the other hand, these products are manufactured to a certain code or standard before it's released to the market. So I doubt they will sacrifice their brand/reputation for a few coilover sales.

ST will hold up but warranty does cover against rust/corrosion. Adjustments are easier made after snow with KW

ST is perfect for California if you are not looking to spend a lot on coilovers

Do you guys recommend it?
We do have snow here but maybe only a dozen times.
They do salt the roads here as well and I might hit up the local mountains up here as I do have winter run flat tires for winter.
do you know if they will rust after a certain time since they are galvanized?

We would suggest KW for Snowy climates but it is 'ok' to run ST
